The ocean can be both breathtaking and cruel-but for one young boy, it became the greatest test of his life.
In 1981, six-year-old Tuan Ho and his family fled Vietnam under the cover of darkness. With his mother and two sisters at his side, he boarded a small fishing boat already burdened with nearly sixty desperate passengers. Ahead lay only uncertainty: armed patrols, violent seas, and the fragile hope of freedom.
What began as a daring escape soon turned into a harrowing fight for survival. The boat’s motor failed. Water seeped through the wooden boards. Hunger gnawed at the travelers, and fresh water grew dangerously scarce. Each sunrise carried the same haunting question-would rescue ever come, or would the sea claim them all?
Adrift at Six tells this unforgettable true story through the eyes of a child who should have been too young to understand such suffering, yet found within himself a strength far beyond his years. It is a powerful account of courage, love, and the will to endure when everything seems lost.
What You’ll Find in This Book:
The daring midnight escape from Vietnam under fire
The harsh realities of life aboard an overcrowded, failing vessel
